Claude Sonnet will ship in Xcode

Anything’s better than the current Xcode autocomplete.

My pet peeve is it will try to autocomplete any string you start typing with just random crap it thinks you might want in a string.

I think all autocomplete solution are crappy, no matter how sophisticated the AI. It is surprising how often the obvious choice is wrong, but it often just is. I deactivated it.

Generating some code is fine, but I now prefer the deterministic autocomplete for my types I have available in my current context.

Maybe you have not used a good one. Even the small locall only 100MB models Jetbrains uses are fine. Codeium/Windsurf one is good.

It now seems to be a choice of ‘let it autocomplete everything’ which because it’s shit so often is just draining and distracting. Or no autocomplete at all.

I just want it to fill in the names of function and variables and enums etc. just stuff that is sometimes hard to keep in your head but such a small suggestion it doesn’t mess up your line of thinking.
